685 Fishing Turtle! (1)
On the evening of the off-day, Lin Ye and Qin Zhilan walked out of the spatial door of the Water Dojo.
Looking at the sparkling lake outside the dojo under the setting sun, Lin Ye could not help but admire it for a while.
Then, he walked towards Old Qin’s house with Qin Zhilan.
Along the way, the two of them did not meet many people who came to the dojo.
It was not until they walked out of the lake of the dojo that they saw some residents around the lake.
Moreover, these people seemed to be… fishing at the side?!
At first, Lin Ye thought that she had seen something wrong. Later on, he deliberately walked closer to the people who were sitting by the lake with small stools.
He then realized that these people were indeed fishing there. Each of them was holding a simple fishing rod and chatting and laughing.
The problem was, Lin Ye remembered that there were no fish in the lake…
They couldn’t possibly be fishing for those Earth Abyss Demon Fishes here, right?
Wasn’t that be like an old birthday boy eating arsenic—were they tired of living?
“Guys, are you… fishing?”
A few of the fishermen heard a sound behind them. Two of them turned to look, while the other three remained motionless.
It could only be said that this reaction was very fishy.
“Yeah, can’t you tell?”
“Isn’t there no fish in this lake? And it’s said that there are very scary water monsters inside!”
The two of them did not recognize Lin Ye, so when they heard him say “water monster”, they did not look surprised. Instead, they looked at Lin Ye with disdain.
“Young man, you’re not from the northern district, are you?”
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
“I’m not. I’m accompanying my girlfriend home to take a look.”
“Hehe, I knew it!”
The middle-aged man, who looked about the same age as Qin An, had an unfathomable expression on his face as he pointed at the bottomless lake in front of him.
“We’re here to catch the big one under the water.”
Lin Ye raised his eyebrows.
“Aren’t you afraid?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? Let me show you a big treasure!”
This middle-aged fisherman looked like an extrovert.
He stuck the fishing rod into the ground, freed his hands, and walked to the lake to clap.
Then, ripples appeared on the originally quiet lake.
About ten seconds later, a huge fish head floated out of the water and jumped up.
Looking at the grayish-white body that was more than three meters long, the slender mouth, and the big fish that looked like a flag on its back, Lin Ye took the opportunity to appraise it with the Beast Taming Index.
[Name] Deepwater Bannerfish

[Overview] A type of fish that lives in deep water. It is extremely fast and explosive. It got its name because it looked like a banner.
Plop ~
After the deep-water flag fish fell into the water, it caused a considerable splash.
But it didn’t stop the man in front of Lin Ye from showing a proud expression.
“Do you see that? That’s my beast!”
“If those monsters dare to come up, my beast will teach them a lesson!”
Looking at the overconfident uncle in front of him, Lin Ye’s lips twitched.
If he said now that those Earth Abyss Demon Fish had Level 5 and Level 6 existences, would they run away immediately?
“Do those people have such beasts too?”
“Of course. Otherwise, why would we dare to fish here?”
Seeing Lin Ye’s “inexperienced” look, the uncle continued.
“Let me tell you, there’s a big guy in this lake!”
“It’s as big as that dojo! It’s very safe!”
“I heard that the big guy feeds on those water monsters. We wanted to catch a few water monsters and then use them to see if we could catch that big guy. It’s said that the big guy appeared when the dojo was established, but not many people saw it with their own eyes.”
“So we wondered if we could try it this way.”
“Who doesn’t want to see such a huge beast with their own eyes?”
After hearing this uncle happily tell the whole story of fishing here, Lin Ye was dumbfounded.
What the f*ck… Why was their train of thought so strange?
The problem was, how dare they?
However, after being surprised, Lin Ye suddenly thought of a very good idea.
Why don’t… I let the Black Tortoise bite the hook?
As soon as this thought appeared in Lin Ye’s mind, he could not suppress it.
Qin Zhilan saw the evil smile on Lin Ye’s face and couldn’t help but pull his hand.
“Then, you… you have to be careful. Don’t scare them.”
Lin Ye smiled and nodded.
He whispered.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
After patting Qin Zhilan’s arm, Lin Ye contacted Black Tortoise and asked the uncle who was fishing.
“Uncle, how long is your fishing line? I heard that those water monsters are at the bottom of the lake.”
The middle-aged man revealed a confident expression.
“Don’t worry, it’s a 25-meter-long line. The bait is made from the best beast lure I bought in the city and the freshest beef in the ranch.”
“Those water monsters will bite the hook.”
Seeing how confident the uncle was, Lin Ye began to control the Black Tortoise to swim towards them from the bottom of the lake.
Under the water, Black Tortoise looked at the flesh in front of him that was barely the size of the fingernail on its toes and slowly opened its mouth to bite it.
Because of Lin Ye’s instructions, it didn’t even use any strength and just closed its mouth gently.
